Deputy President William Ruto Laughs Off Raila's Plan to Legalize Chang'aa

Deputy President William Ruto has laughed off NASA’s plans to legalize illicit brew if the coalition is elected in the August 8 polls.

Ruto says the move announced by National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga would be an impediment to the war against alcoholism and drug abuse, which has ruined lives of many young people in the country.

“We already have a serious problem with alcoholism and drug abuse. It will be a step in the wrong direction to legalize Chang’aa and busaa,” Ruto said.

Speaking while attending a church service at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Ol Kalou in Nyandarua County on Sunday, the Deputy President called on religious leaders to help the government fight Alcoholism and drug abuse menace.

“Let’s join forces in dealing with this menace. Pray for the Opposition which intends to legalize illicit brew to have a change of heart over this matter,” added the Deputy President.

The deputy president further called on religious leaders to continue praying for peace in the country as we head to the general elections and urged leaders to maintain peace during their campaigns,

“I urge you to continue praying for our country to hold peaceful elections and let the will of the people prevail.”

He was accompanied by Secretary Sicily Kariuki (Youth and Gender Affairs Cabinet Secretary), Governor Daniel Waithaka (Nyandarua), MPs David Kiarao (Ol Kalau), Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu), David Gichigi (Kipipiri), aspirants Francis Kimemia (Governor), Jeremiah Kioni (MP Ndaragwa), Mwangi Githiomi (Senate) and Faith Gitau (Women Representative) among others.

Sincerely Speaking:
1. Pure Chang'aa is same as Whiskey or Vodka (though Dangerous on Empty Stomach).
2. Raila seems to be Exciting those with the Habit of Drinking on Election Day to Go Vote on 8/8/17 (in Return for the Promise). It's a Campaign Strategy could die after the Election is Over.

Muuaji Raila is just confirming that he is the PM(PRIME MURDERER) of Kenya.How can a president lack economic ideas of leading a nation expect the drinking of killer brew?Eight years ago he together with jambazi Kibaki allowed money laundering in Kenya when they okeyed the purchase of property by Al Shabaab pirates.Right now muuaji is just wants to expand his methanol market.

This moron needs psychiatric help.Ojinga has no shame when it comes to deaths of innocent Kenyans because to him the end justifies his means - kill,kill,kill and those who don't die will vote for him.It is so sad that at this day and age we can cheer a political conman like Ojinga when he makes such stupid comments. We all heard what he said in Kajiado about Kikuyus,Kisii,Kalenjin and Meru people living harmoniously in the county.There are no two ways about this matter other than condemn Raila's inciting comments . I am more shocked by the massive silence from the media, who otherwise would shout themselves silly and to the top of their print and electronic lungs if this was done by one of the Jubilee leaders! The so-called human rights crusaders never raised a finger because it was 'their saint' who had called on the Masai to evict other tribes from Kajiado. As I said earlier on here, some of the largest community of foreigners in Kajiado are Kikuyus,Kisii,Kalenjin and Merus. It therefore follows that Raila should not waste his time cheating these communities that he cares for them in his many trips to their respective areas. Otherwise he should apologise to all the non-Masaai communities living in Kajiado and failure to do so get a punishment via no vote for Ojinga for taking us for granted.Ojinga can fool us sometimes but not all the time!
